what grade in high school should I take the SAT and ACT tests?

Common wisdom holds that students should take the SAT or ACT in the spring semester of the year before they apply to college (the junior year of high school). The first test-taking date of the senior year is also acceptable.

You can take the SAT or ACT before then. But ask yourself: Is it in your best interest to do so? The test is designed for 11th and 12th graders, so you probably won’t be as prepared as if you wait – especially with the ACT, which focuses more on classroom knowledge.

You shouldn’t wait too long to take the SAT or ACT either though. The latest you can take them and still have the scores appear on your US university application by the deadline is December of your senior year. You also want to have time to retake the test if your ACT or SAT scores aren’t as high as you had hoped.

No you should wait until 11th and 12th grade. In 10th grade you will take the PSAT. Then in your junior year take the SAT and if you want to try to get a better score then take again your senior year.

You should take the pre sat 10th grade not the real one :)

you should take it in junior and senior years
